Emmylou i think rather than worry too much about prognosis you need to concentrate on the treatment and all it will entail.Stages are just a set of numbers and i have no great faith in them myself Robin was T1 N2c and to all intents and purposes stage 1 with a 90% chance of a ten year survival prognosis.That was a hard lesson to learn,that no one can acurately predict the course of this disease,so just fight it and take each day as it comes dont worry too much about anything else as this stage.
